Have you heard “live at the Lighthouse” from about the same time.
PS. Would that be a scouse ouse???? or are you still overseas.
Wherever, best wishes to you all
It's a scouse ouse this week.

Ive tried to find the version of Sack of Woe from the “Lighthouse” Lp.
I cant find it named as such, but i think this is it.

Piero Piccioni.
only 300 copies of this were pressed. super reissue of the classic 1968 rca double edited to 1 lp. Worth getting if you like this style.

Some Otis Reading. :)
(Not sure if this the correct section to post, but before that it was some Howlin' Wolf. And the good Chester Burnett is most definitely Blues.)
Now: Leroy Carr - 'Naptown Blues'.
Blues legend Otis Spann now. If there was a better blues pianist, i never heard him. Died young in 1970 and his grave went unmarked for nearly 30 years shamefully..

Otis played with them all.

Thankfully tomorrow is April 1.
Nina Simone.. not the album as such but a comp, named after her first album, although i think all the tracks are there from memory.

Yup, all from the same session i believe.Quote:

yup, and Nina Simone and Her Friends which was released without her knowledge .. She sold the rights to the session for $3k, which since cost her a fortune. Bethlehem Records really screwed her overQuote:

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of picking up just over a handful of jazz at my local market. I have had chance to listen to a small but perfectly formed Glenn Miller 10" so far.
Doing some listening as reset up my deck, with and Ortofon and I think I have hit it's sweetie spot.:)

I first discovered the music of Ahmad Jamal just a few years ago. I dont know how it took me so long.
I just love it. Wonderful grooves and just a joyous feeling. Check out the smiles on the faces of all 4 musicians. Wonderful vibe.
here is my favourite. I keep coming back to it, and link to it now in the hope that some others who dont know his music may discover this man and his music.

A dig into my Nina Simone Library for this classic on back to Black vinyl; a reissue of the Philips album that was basically the left overs from her days there that never make it to vinyl.
Top class album all the same.
Oddly when I looked for it in my discogs it hadnt been catalogued :scratch: it is now

pressed in Netherlands
Son House live at Oberling College.
What can one say, although a bit passed his best, still a powerhouse.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6b20f7cf37.jpg
More Son House; this time the Alan Lomax Library of Congress Recordings of 41/42. Quality is reasonable for the time and fact it was a field recording.
Accompanying Son were friends Willie Brown, Joe Martin and Leroy Williams. Due to the site's location, you do hear the odd steam train puffing by:lol: adds authenticity.
Only recommended for Lovers of the Delta.

I purchased this one on spec as it looked interesting, a good decision. A great mix of songs, and very well recorded.

Brian - a good find to discover Jamal. He's one of my favourites. Such a distinctive, light and quick touch on the keyboard. Amazing talent. And you are right -- always a positive cheerful mood to his tunes. Makes me smile every time I listen. If you haven't already got them, albums Ahmad's Blues and At the Pershing are excellent, among his many great albums.Quote:

Nathan Davis' rendition of Whipping Post is on this album.
Picked this up today for £1.50, absolutely mint. It sounds great, tongue in cheek as I remember it.

Beautiful interpretations of some classics - On Green Dolphin Street in particular. Digital versions have alternate takes - interesting to see him improvise around the themes in completely different ways.

Haven't played that in ages - must dig it out and give 'yodeling Leon' a spin. :)Quote:
